How do we know Christ's work of salvation is effectual?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's work is effectual because it is specific to those given to Him by the Father, ensuring salvation for His people.

The effectiveness of Christ's atonement is rooted in the doctrine of limited atonement, which holds that Christ died specifically for the elect—those chosen by the Father before the foundation of the world. As articulated in the sermon, if Christ died for all indiscriminately, then His work would ultimately be void because not everyone will be saved. However, Scripture affirms that His death is not in vain; rather, it secures the salvation of those for whom it was intended. The belief that nothing shall separate the elect from the love of God reinforces the assurance we have in the finality and sufficiency of Christ's redemptive work.
